In 1995, when it was just three years old, Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, had already become a popular wintertime destination for roller coaster fanatics.

In September of that year, however, the five million square feet property made a slamming impression on homes all across America.

On Saturday 9 September, wrestling will return to the Huntington Bank Rotunda for the second straight year with Saturday Night Nitro, hosted by the Minneapolis-based company, F1RST Wrestling. Headliners will be the clown-faced Brothers of Funstruction and the male-female tag team Effie and Allie Katch.

Eighty-dollar Golden Circle seats are sold out, as are $55 Level 1 tickets. General admission standing tickets are still available at between $15 and $25. The event is being sponsored by Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Grappling aficionados without tickets, however, can go to Mall of America this Friday evening for a F1RST Wrestling Fan Fest to meet their favourite wrestlers, throw axes and play vintage arcade games.
